What are Crinkle Cookies? 

These go by several different names. Some folks call them Strawberry Fluffies. Some call them Crinkle Cookies. Some simple call them cake mix cookies. 

Whatever you call them, you’re going to want to make them! And I’m offering you this recipe in my “Short and Sweet” category, which means you won’t have to wade through a lot of text to get the recipe!

So, let’s dive right in. Here’s what you’ll need to make these simple cookies: 

Strawberry Fluffies Ingredients

• 1 box strawberry cake mix (dry)
• 1 8-ounce container cool whip
• ½ cup powdered sugar

That’s it! Just three ingredients for these delicious strawberry cookies!

How to Make Strawberry Crinkle Cookies

I prefer the name “crinkle” for these because they do crinkle on top. But here’s how you’re going to make them. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Prepare a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. 

Place powdered sugar in a bowl and set aside. 

Combine dry cake mix and the whipped cream in a mixing bowl. I used a stand mixer with the paddle attachment but you can use a bowl and spoon if you prefer. Just make sure it’s well incorporated. 

Use a cookie scoop to form balls. Place in the bowl of powdered sugar and toss until coated. Place on baking sheet. 

Place in preheated oven and bake for 12 - 13 minutes or until set. Place cookie sheet on wire rack to cool. 

After a few minutes, transfer cookies directly to the rack to continue cooling. 

Serve and enjoy! 

Store leftovers in airtight container or tightly wrapped in plastic wrap. You can leave these at room temperature. They should stay good for 3 - 4 days. They can be frozen up to two months in a freezer bag. 

These cookies are fluffy, chewy, crispy, and packed full of strawberry flavor. You’re going to be so glad you made them! 

That’s it for this post, friends. Like I said. . .short and sweet!
